SIMON MASON

IN AN EXTENDED TWO-PART EDITION OF THE MOUTHCAST, AUTHOR AND MUSICIAN SIMON MASON TALKS ABOUT HIS CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED BOOK TOO HIGH, TOO FAR, TOO SOON.

TOO HIGH, TOO FAR, TOO SOON is the humorous, tragic and searingly honest memoir of a man who survived childhood tragedy, Catholic boarding school and chronic drug addiction. Mason graphically details his experience of teenage angst in a tatty seaside town before running away to London and then onwards to the crack-infested streets of LA. He recounts the notoriety which came during his stint as ‘personal chemist’ to the biggest bands of the Britpop scene in the 1990s, before a helpless period of heroin addiction found him removed from the guest list and kicked to the kerb. Despite the intensity and the darkness of his book, it is also a tale of redemption…
